> After Intel had flatly denied to change their CPU dispatcher, I decided that the most efficient way to make them change their minds was to create publicity about the problem. I contacted several IT magazines, but nobody wanted to write about it. Sad, but not very surprising, considering that they all depend on advertising money from Intel.

Sorry to go on this tangent: but is capitalism so rotten that everything eventually corrupts? Here even outlets for discussion on topics of science and technology self-censure to maximize profit. So much for freedom of speech.

Where is truth these days?

Strictly speaking, it's not about "capitalism", but journalists trying to get funding from anywhere else than directly their readership. (There used to be law proposals forbidding this, not sure if advertising was already on their radar back in the 1940's.)

Of course there would still remain the issue of self-censoring to avoid annoying your readership, not sure how you can deal with that...
